Security Warning problem

[ray well]

hi,

when my client runs an app i'm developing for him he get the following msg

===================
Open File - Security Warning

The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this
software?

Name: the apps name.exe
Publisher: Unkown Publisher
Type: Application
From: the apps folder

it then has a run and cancel button

on the bottom it says: This file does not have a valid digital signature
that verifies its publisher. You should only run software from publishers
you trust.

=======================

i made a snk file by running sn, copied it to design's folder, and added it
to my app in a module as below, and the program compiled, but my client
still keeps the above nasty msg. strangely other apps i developed for the
same client for which i didn't even add a snk file, run without being
bugged by the above msg to this very day.

this doesn't happen on my development machine.

someone told me that it is caused by sp2 which i don't have on my
development machine, and i need some kind of publisher certificate, is this
true? i have no idea what this is, and would i go about getting one.

i would appreciate any help with this

thanks

ray

hi,


I bet he is running it from a network share, it has something to do with
SP2 , you need to add the server to the trusted domain.

ITOH it has nothing to do with generating a SN, it has more to do with the
fact that it's not signed with a valid certificate from somebody like
Verisign. but I'm not very sure of how it works right now, maybe somebody
else can give more details about this.

cheers,
